Diary of that guy who was watching a battle.

Dear diary,

The most intense battle of history just happened, it had explosions, flaming arrows and sword clashes.

The weather was sunny with butterflies (ironic I know), you could hear the footsteps of the armies from a mile away. At the front the captins on their leading their armies followed by the swords men behind them there was the cavalry, after them there are the cannons and finally the archers with their intense sniping skills. There were at least 10,000 men on each side both charging at each other. Macbeth’s side rushed headfirst into battle meanwhile the archers and cannons stayed at the back launching flaming arrows and bombs at the enemy. On the other side, the enemy had formed a shield wall although the cannon fire easily broke through allowing Macbeth and his army to advance easily while the archers took out the Cavaliers leaving a clear to the enemy archers, cannons, swordsmen and their leader. From then on it was an all out sword fight between the remaining swordsmen and the two captains. One by one soldiers fell as Macbeth fought the captain of the enemy army, of course Macbeth won (mainly because he fought with two swords but that’s besides the point). By the time they finished there were giant craters all over the battle field, only ones left standing were Macbeth and Banquo (their armies had gone home).

So yeaaaaa  that’s what happened

Da end

Scene 1 setup

Dear Sir,

I would like to discuss the play and the props and costumes I will be using throughout the play.

Scene 1

Props

The three witches will each have a brown wand with an orb sitting on top, each of them a different colour, the first witch will have a black orb on her wand the second will have a blue and the third a yellow orb on her wand.

Their animal spirits will be holograms and will appear by their side near the end of the scene.

Staging

The stage will look like a forest clearing, with three paths leading away from the centre, from there is where the witches will enter and exit. The floor will be
